Zach Williams reminds us of Jesus’ miraculous birth with ‘Go Tell It On The Mountain.’ Zach breathes new life into this African-American spiritual that dates all the way back to 1865. 

There’s a rumor that’s grown louder in recent years — that New York City has somehow out-priced itself, over-crowded itself, or out-commercialized itself right out of the Christmas conversation. That perhaps Europe has stolen the twinkle from our lights, that Chicago is suddenly the Christmas capital, that a warm-weather holiday will be more relaxing, less chaotic.

Venturing off the safe path, Lauren Daigle ("You Way") gives us a completely new take on a classic Christmas favorite; incorporating some ol' New Orleans flavor to the song.  Here's Lauren's take on "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas".

Cinnamon sugary goodness perfect for your Christmas cookie box! 

A staple of my Christmas cookie baking—chewy with warm gingery spice. 

These cookies are a must-make at Christmas. Rich, fudgy, and so easy! 

My mother made this fudge every year when I was growing up and it really is the best. Now I’m carrying on the tradition. C’est si bon! 

Did you happen to see Lauren Daigle on the CMA Country Christmas special that recently aired on ABC?  If you missed it, you better not pout, you better not cry! 

We have a special video performance from the special, of Lauren with the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, playing a collection of Christmas favorites!

Watch as she is definitely in her element!  

Why were these the names that Isaiah prophesied 800 years before Christ would come?

Critics agree, 'Noel' is one of Lauren Daigle's most breathtaking holiday performances.  While still an up-and-coming artist, Lauren recorded this song on Chris Tomlin's 2015 Christmas album, Adore.  Surprisingly, it has become one of the season's most-played songs.

22x platinum rock band Skillet turns “O Come, O Come Emmanuel” into a hard-hitting rock tune. Response to the song has been strong, both in favor and against. The song has soared to #1 across multiple BILLBOARD charts, but has also sparked some controversy within Christian circles.

Christian artist, songwriter, and author Tasha Layton ushers in the holiday season with her Christmas single, “Christmas All Year Long".  With a mix of nostalgia and big-band charm, the track captures the heart of the season.

Watch Layton's music video, inspired by classic stop-motion animation. Here's "Christmas All Year Long".

Award-winning artist, songwriter, and worship leader Phil Wickham has produced this music video for his Christmas single “Behold,” featuring New Artist of the Year Dove Award-winner and American Music Award nominee, Anne Wilson.

“Angels (Glory To God)” by Phil Wickham combines the classic hymn with a dynamic new worship chorus in the middle.  The end result is a super fun new version of “Angels We Have Heard On High” that puts the holidays in high gear!
